Lesedauer: 1 Minute
GCP Europe is the voice of the building services engineering sector, mechanical contractors, plumbers, and HVAC installers. The association represents their interests at the European Union level and, by doing so, contributes to the achievement of the EU's climate, energy, and prosperity goals.
People spend about 90 % of their day in buildings. Indoor climate and water supply, therefore, belong to the main features determining indoor comfort. On the other hand, more than 40 % of the final energy consumption in Europe is used for the heating needs of buildings and for domestic hot water production. Hence, technical building systems have become a priority area to reduce the use of traditional energy sources.
GCP Europe is a powerful network in this sector in Europe. GCP Europe was founded in 1949. It was formerly known as Genie Climatique Internationale – Union Internationale de la Couverture et de la Plomberie (GCI-UICP). It took on its new name in 2014.
